The Work of Memory: Time, Identity, and Justice

---

In this essay, I argue that the political community’s identity and its sense of its own coherence as
a responsible agent across time rest squarely on the work of collective memory.
The protean volatility of the politics of memory reminds us that in our world (or perhaps it always and everywhere was so), memory is intertwined with power, interest and resistance precisely because it is so vital and fundamental to
what we are as citizens and to what our society is a community of justice.
